A Case of Neutrophilic Eccrine Hidradenitis in an Infant

relatively rare neutrophilic dermatosis and first described as a transient and benign complication of various chemotherapy regimens for acute leukemia. More recently, NEH has been observed in other conditions, such as infections or drugs, before the diagnosis of malignancy and even generally healthy individuals. Furthermore, there were several reports of idiopathic palmoplantar hidradenitis, which had similar clinical and histopathologic findings with NEH, in children without history of chemotherapy. We herein describe a nine-month-old female infant with NEH on the extremities including palms and soles. Although she had acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), the lesions of NEH appeared before starting chemotherapy, suggestive of other etiology. CASE REPORT
